    ************************************************

This workshop and working group is intended to bring together security
and privacy experts with human-computer interaction experts to discuss
approaches to developing more usable privacy and security
software. The workshop sessions on July 7 and July 8 will include
invited talks and discussion. July 9 will feature a "working group" of
invited participants who will spend the day identifying important
problems, discussing some of the research issues raised during the
workshop in more depth, and brainstorming about approaches to future
research, collaboration, and more user-centered design of security and
privacy software.

**************************************************************
Participation:

Participation in the workshop is open to anyone who registers (no
submission necessary).
